RecyclingCustodial Services is responsible for the collection of recycled material on campus from all public spaces with the exception of individual offices (occupants are asked to bring their recycled paper to a common collection point in the corridor). There are many streams of recycling on Campus; Custodial Services is responsible for the following:

Cardboard – the University has its own cardboard baler, cardboard boxes should be flattened and placed in recycling bins located outdoors at main waste transfer stations. Please don’t leave boxes in the halls, however if you are in an office area, you may leave your flattened box beside or on top of the recycling container on your floor. For more information click Cardboard Recycling Initiative

Fine paper and Newsprint – blue bins are located in offices, classrooms, photocopy rooms and in public corridors. If you are recycling large volumes of paper, you may request a bin on wheels by calling ahead at extension 4450.

Co-Mingled (plastic, cans, glass and cartons) – blue bins are available in public corridors, lunchrooms and dining halls.

Organic – food waste can be discarded into small green organic bins located in all kitchenette/lunchroom on Campus. Dining halls also have special containers or procedures to accommodate organic waste.

Non – Hazardous Waste ManagementWaste is collected daily by Custodial staff in high traffic locations, in low occupancy offices it is collected weekly. The waste is then transported to compactors or waste bins located at the exterior of various buildings on campus. A service provider then tips the waste bins on a set frequency.
